[1-1. About payment using user terminal 100]
Here, an example of payment (electronic payment) using the user terminal 100 will be described prior to the calculation process executed by the payment server 10. In the following description, the user U1 uses a two-dimensional code (QR code (registered trademark)) arranged in the store A and indicates the store identification information that identifies the store A. An example of performing payment using the person terminal 100 will be described, but the embodiment is not limited to this. The example of payment described below can be applied even when an arbitrary user makes a payment at an arbitrary store using an arbitrary user terminal 100. Further, the store identification information may be not only a QR code (registered trademark) but also a barcode, a predetermined mark, a number, or the like.

For example, when the user U1 uses or purchases a payment target (transaction target) such as various products or services at the store A, the user U1 uses a payment application pre-installed on the user terminal 100. to start. Then, the user U1 photographs the store identification information installed in the store A via the payment application. In such a case, the user terminal 100 displays a screen for inputting the price to be settled, and accepts the input of the settlement amount from the user U1 or the clerk of the store A. Then, the user terminal 100 pays for the user identification information for identifying the user U1 and the store identification information (or the information indicated by the store identification information, that is, the information indicating the store A (for example, the store ID)). The payment information indicating the amount of money is transmitted to the payment server 10.

In such a case, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money of the amount indicated by the payment amount from the account of the user U1 indicated by the user identification information to the account of the store A indicated by the store identification information. Then, the payment server 10 transmits a notification to the user terminal 100 that the payment has been completed. In such a case, the user terminal 100 notifies that the payment has been made by electronic money by outputting a screen indicating that the payment has been completed and a predetermined voice.

The payment using the user terminal 100 is not limited to the above-mentioned processing. For example, the payment using the user terminal 100 may be made using the store terminal installed in the store A. For example, the user terminal 100 displays user identification information for identifying the user U1 on the screen. In such a case, the store terminal installed in the store A reads the user identification information displayed on the user terminal 100, and the user identification information (or the information indicated by the user identification information, that is, the user U1). Information (for example, user ID) indicating the above, the payment amount, and the payment information indicating the information identifying the store A are transmitted to the payment server 10. In such a case, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money of the amount indicated by the payment amount from the account of the user U1 indicated by the user identification information to the account of the store A, and the store terminal or the user of the store A. The terminal 100 may be notified that the payment has been made by outputting a screen indicating that the payment has been completed or a predetermined voice.

Further, the payment using the user terminal 100 is not only a process of transferring the electronic money from the account charged with the electronic money in advance by the user U1 to the account of the store A, but also, for example, the credit registered in advance by the user U1. Payment using a card may be used. In such a case, for example, the user terminal 100 may transfer the electronic money of the payment amount to the account of the store A and charge the payment amount to the credit card management company of the user U1. ..

[1-2. About pre-ordering using user terminal 100]
Further, with reference to FIG. 2, an example of a screen displayed on the user terminal 100 when performing pre-order processing using the pre-order service provided by the payment server 10 prior to the calculation process executed by the payment server 10. explain. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a screen of a user terminal according to an embodiment.

In the following description, the user terminal 100 activates a pre-order application installed in advance in response to an operation from the user U1, and setstles the order contents to the store A, which is a member store of the pre-order service. It is assumed that the message has been sent to 10. For example, the user terminal 100 displays an order screen for ordering a product (food and drink) provided by the store A via the pre-order service. Then, the user terminal 100 transmits to the settlement server 10 the order contents indicating the product for which the order operation performed by the user U1 is performed on the order screen.

As shown in FIG. 2, after transmitting the order content to the payment server 10, the user terminal 100 displays a screen C1 indicating that the order content has been transmitted. For example, the user terminal 100 displays a screen C1 including information indicating an amount corresponding to an order content (amount of payment to a store A). When a predetermined time has elapsed or when a predetermined operation is performed by the user U1, the user terminal 100 shifts the screen C1 to the screen C2.

The user terminal 100 displays a screen C2 including information indicating the time when the ordered product can be received. For example, the user terminal 100 displays on the screen C2 a time based on a period set by the store A as a period from receiving an order via the pre-order service to providing the product. Here, the payment server 10 transmits the order contents to the store terminal installed in the store A. Then, when the store A receives an order, the store terminal transmits a notification indicating that the order is received to the payment server 10 in response to an operation from the store clerk of the store A. In this case, the user terminal 100 receives the information indicating that the order has been received from the store A from the payment server 10, and shifts the screen C2 to the screen C3.

The user terminal 100 displays a screen C3 including information indicating that the order has been placed in the store A and the store A is performing the work for providing the product. Here, when the work is completed in the store A and the product can be provided to the user U1, the store terminal setstles the notification that the product can be provided in response to the operation from the clerk of the store A. Send to server 10. Then, the user terminal 100 receives the information indicating that the product can be provided and the authentication information for receiving the product (for example, the receiving number assigned by the payment server 10) from the payment server 10 and screens the screen. Transition C3 to screen C4.

The user terminal 100 displays a screen C4 including information received from the payment server 10. As a result, the user U1 can come to the store A and receive the product by presenting the receiving number to the clerk of the store A. Then, when the user U1 receives the product from the store A, the user terminal 100 transmits a notification to the effect that the product has been received to the payment server 10 in response to the operation from the user U1.

Even if the user terminal 100 displays a screen for inputting the evaluation information of the store A, accepts the input of the evaluation information (review) of the store A, and sends the input evaluation information to the payment server 10. good. For example, the user terminal 100 accepts input of an evaluation value of a store (for example, an evaluation value in five stages from "1 (very bad)" to "5 (very good)"). Further, the user terminal 100 accepts the input of the user U1's comment regarding the receipt of the product. Further, the user terminal 100 activates the image pickup unit of its own device in response to the operation of the user U1 and transmits the evaluation information including the image of the captured product to the payment server 10.

[1-3. About the outline of the embodiment]
Here, as a technique for providing a service related to pre-ordering to a store by a user before coming to the store, a meal is provided in response to a case where a user takes out a meal cooked in the store to an arbitrary dining place and eats it. A technique has been proposed that presents a meal startable time until a place is reached and a meal can be started. However, in such a technique, there is described a configuration in which a store sets a guideline time from receiving an order until it becomes possible to serve food, and uses the time to present a meal startable time to the user. However, it is not always the case that the store appropriately sets the period for performing the work for providing the transaction target to the user.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, only a configuration is described in which control is performed so that the store information of the store having a short meal start time is preferentially presented to the user, and the store is appropriately evaluated. Not necessarily.

Therefore, the payment server 10 executes the calculation process according to the embodiment. Hereinafter, the information processing executed by the payment server 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, an example will be shown in which the user terminal 100 is used by the user U1 and the business terminal 200 is used by the business operator M1 who manages the store A. Further, in the following description, the user terminal 100 may be equated with the user U1, and the business terminal 200 may be equated with the business M1 and the store A. That is, in the following, the user U1 can be read as the user terminal 100, the business operator M1 and the store A can be read as the business operator terminal 200.

Further, in the following description, the store A (that is, a member store of the electronic payment service) that accepts payment from the user using the electronic payment service provided by the payment server 10 is a member store of the pre-order service. Goods (food and drink) shall be provided to the user through the pre-order service. For example, the business operator M1 registers product information regarding a transaction target product (for example, a take-out product) provided to the user by using the electronic payment service in the payment server 10, and the user sends the product information via the pre-order service. Accepts orders and provides products to users who come to the store afterwards.

Further, in the following description, the payment server 10 includes product information including a product name, a price, an explanatory text, a product image, options that can be given to the product (product size, toppings, etc.), a period for selling the product, and the like. Registration shall be accepted from the business operator of the member store of the pre-order service, and managed in association with the store information (for example, store ID, store name, location, business hours, etc.).

First, the payment server 10 acquires store information regarding store A (step S1). For example, the payment server 10 acquires the location of the store A. Further, the payment server 10 completes the work (cooking, etc.) for providing the product after the store A receives the order for the product from the user via the pre-order service, and the product can be provided to the user. This is the time until the product is provided to the user who placed an order with the store A through the pre-order service, which is the time set as the information provided by the store A to the user on the pre-order service. Acquire the set time, which is a guideline time until the product is completed. Further, the payment server 10 acquires history information indicating the time from when the store A actually receives an order via the pre-order service until the work for providing the product is completed. To give a specific example, in the above-mentioned pre-order processing, the payment server 10 receives an order from a store clerk of a store A to a store terminal (business terminal 200, etc.), and then a product. Acquires history information indicating the average value of the time until the operation of transmitting the notification to the payment server 10 that the product can be provided is performed.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 calculates the creditworthiness of the store A regarding the provision of the product via the pre-order service based on the acquired store information (step S2). For example, the payment server 10 calculates the creditworthiness based on the degree of coincidence between the time indicated by the history information (in other words, the transaction record in the pre-order service) and the set time. To give a specific example, the payment server 10 calculates the credit rating lower as the deviation between the time indicated by the history information and the set time increases, and calculates the credit rating higher as the deviation is smaller.

The settlement server 10 may calculate the creditworthiness based on the success or failure of the receipt of the transaction target and the transaction record such as the evaluation (review) posted by the user.

Here, in the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the credit rating of the store A calculated by the payment server 10 is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value. In this case, the payment server 10 makes a proposal to the store A regarding the correction of the set time (step S3). For example, the payment server 10 provides the business operator terminal 200 with proposal information that proposes to correct the set time based on the time indicated by the history information. In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the business operator M1 consents to the correction of the set time. In this case, the payment server 10 receives a notification from the business operator terminal 200 that the correction of the set time is accepted, corrects the set time of the store A based on the proposal information, and provides information indicating the corrected set time in advance. Provide to users on the order service.

The set time may be modified voluntarily by the store A. For example, the business operator M1 provided with the proposal information transmits information indicating the corrected set time to the payment server 10 via the business operator terminal 200, and updates the information regarding the store A registered in the pre-order service. I do.

Further, the payment server 10 may provide information about each store to the user in the pre-order service based on the creditworthiness. For example, the payment server 10 preferentially provides the user with the information of the store having a higher credit rating.

Subsequently, the user terminal 100 displays the order screen according to the operation from the user U1 and accepts the input of the order contents (step S4). For example, the user terminal 100 activates the pre-order application in the payment application installed in the own device and displays the order screen which is the content of the pre-order application. In the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the user U1 desires a pre-order from the store A. In this case, the user terminal 100 acquires the product information associated with the store A from the payment server 10 in response to the operation from the user U1, and displays an order screen showing the acquired product information. Then, the user terminal 100 receives from the user U1 an input of order contents indicating information such as the number of orders for each product provided in the store A and options to be given to each product.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 acquires user information including order details and information about the user (step S5). For example, the payment server 10 acquires information indicating the store A, payment information indicating the payment amount for the store A (total amount of products and options), and the like, as well as the order contents transmitted from the user terminal 100, and relates to the user. As the information, the information indicating the current position of the user U1 positioned by the GPS (Global Positioning System) sensor or the like possessed by the user terminal 100 is acquired. Then, the payment server 10 is another account held by the user U1 from the first account held by the user U1 in the electronic payment service, in which the electronic money corresponding to the payment amount indicated by the payment information is held by the user. Transfer to a second account where U1 cannot be used for transactions. To give a specific example, the payment server 10 is a process of transferring electronic money between a plurality of accounts held by the user U1 in the electronic payment service, and is used for payment using the user terminal 100 described above. The process of transferring the electronic money for the payment amount from the first account to the second account that cannot be used for the payment is executed.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 sets a work period in which the store A performs the work for providing the product based on the store information and the user information (step S6). For example, the payment server 10 sets the work period based on the current location of the user U1, the travel time to the store A estimated based on the location of the store A, and the set time of the store A. To give a specific example, when the current time is "13:00", the travel time of the user U1 from the current location to the store A is "30 minutes", and the set time of the store A is "10 minutes". , The payment server 10 has a period before the visit time "13:30" of the user U1 and a period "13:20 to 13:30" corresponding to the set time of the store A as a work period. Set. The payment server 10 may set a period in which a predetermined buffer is provided in the set time (for example, "13:15 to 13:35") as a working period.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 provides the store A with the contents of the order from the user U1 and the information regarding the work period (step S7). For example, the payment server 10 provides the store A with information regarding the work period, such as information indicating the time when the work is started "13:20" and information indicating the visit time "13:30" of the user U1. do.

The payment server 10 may provide the store A with information based on a period (for example, a set time) preset by the store A as a period for the store A to perform the work for providing the product. Further, the payment server 10 may set a period set by the store A as a period for providing the product to the user U1 as a working period.

Here, in the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the business operator M1 who has confirmed the order contents and the information regarding the work period decides to receive the order from the user U1. In this case, the business terminal 200 transmits a notification to the payment server 10 that the order is received in response to the operation from the business M1 (step S8).

The payment server 10 may provide the store A with information on the work period at any time. For example, when the payment server 10 receives a notification from the business operator terminal 200 that an order is received, the work is started at the timing of "13:20" when the work is started. A notification to that effect (push notification, etc.) may be provided to the business terminal 200.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 provides the user U1 with a response from the store A corresponding to the order (step S9). Subsequently, the user terminal 100 displays the response from the store A provided by the payment server 10 (step S10). For example, the payment server 10 provides the user terminal 100 with information indicating that the order has been placed in the store A and information indicating the time when the product is scheduled to be received (for example, "13:30"). And display it on the screen. Further, when the notification that the product can be provided is received from the business terminal 200, the payment server 10 uses the information indicating that the product can be provided and the receiving number for receiving the product. It is provided to the terminal 100 and displayed on the screen.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 acquires information regarding the receipt of the product from the user U1 (step S11). For example, the payment server 10 acquires information indicating whether or not the user U1 has received the product from the store A from the user terminal 100.

Subsequently, the payment server 10 executes a payment process according to the receipt of the product of the user U1 (step S12). For example, when the information indicating that the product has been received is acquired from the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the payment information from the second account of the user U1 to the business operator M1. Transfers to an account held by an electronic payment service. On the other hand, when the information indicating that the product could not be received is received from the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 receives the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the payment information from the second account of the user U1. Transfer to your account.

In step S5, the payment server 10 holds electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the payment information from the account held by the user U1 in the electronic payment service to the account held by the administrator of the pre-order service in the electronic payment service. You may move to. In this case, when the information indicating that the product has been received is acquired from the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 receives the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the payment information from the account held by the administrator by the business operator M1. Transfer to the account you own. Further, when the information indicating that the product could not be received is acquired from the user terminal 100, the payment server 10 transfers the electronic money for the payment amount indicated by the payment information from the account held by the administrator to the user U1. Transfer to the account.

As described above, the payment server 10 according to the embodiment is based on the current location of the user U1, the travel time to the store A estimated based on the location of the store A, and the set time of the store A. The work period for the store A to perform the work for providing the product is set. As a result, the payment server 10 according to the embodiment can set the work period so that the cooking of the product is completed at the time when the user is expected to come to the store. Therefore, for example, the store makes the product early and uses it. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the product has cooled down when a person visits the store. That is, the payment server 10 according to the embodiment can appropriately set a period for the store to perform the work for providing the transaction target to the user.

Further, the payment server 10 according to the embodiment responds to the difference between the time from when the store A actually receives the order via the pre-order service to the completion of the work for providing the product and the set time. Calculate the creditworthiness. As a result, the payment server 10 according to the embodiment is based on the divergence between the actual condition of the store and the information provided by the store to the user in the pre-order service, in other words, the divergence from the expectation from the user. The credit rating can be calculated. That is, the payment server 10 according to the embodiment can appropriately evaluate the store used by the user.

The calculation unit 42 calculates the creditworthiness of the store regarding the provision of the transaction target via the predetermined platform based on the history information acquired by the acquisition unit 41. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation unit 42 refers to the business operator information database 32 and calculates the creditworthiness of the store A regarding the provision of the product via the pre-order service based on the history information of the store A.

Further, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the credit rating based on the time indicated by the history information. For example, the calculation unit 42 calculates the creditworthiness of the store as the time from when the store receives the order via the pre-order service until the work for providing the product is completed is earlier, and the creditworthiness is calculated as the time is later. Calculate low.

Further, the calculation unit 42 is a time indicated by the history information and a time from when the store receives an order via a predetermined platform until the work for providing the transaction target is completed, which is set by the store. The credit rating may be calculated based on the set time, which is the time. For example, the calculation unit 42 calculates the creditworthiness of the orders received through the pre-order service as the number of orders for which the work for providing the product is completed by the scheduled time when the product can be received increases. However, the smaller the number of completed orders, the lower the credit rating.

Further, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the credit rating based on the degree of coincidence between the time indicated by the history information and the set time. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the calculation unit 42 completes the time indicated by the history information and the work for providing the product after the store A receives an order for the product from the user via the pre-order service. The greater the deviation from the set time, which is the time until the product can be provided to the user, which is the time set as the information provided to the user by the store A on the pre-order service, the larger the deviation of the store A. The credit rating is calculated low, and the smaller the deviation, the higher the credit rating.

Here, there may be a request to calculate the creditworthiness of the store according to the difference between the image of the product provided to the user in the pre-order service and the product actually provided from the store. Therefore, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the credit rating based on the degree of matching between the image shown by the history information and the image of the transaction target provided by the store to the user via the predetermined platform. For example, the calculation unit 42 uses a known image recognition technique to obtain an image of a product included in the evaluation information posted by the user and an image of the product provided by the store to the user via the pre-order service. The degree of similarity is calculated, the higher the degree of similarity, the higher the creditworthiness, and the lower the degree of similarity, the higher the creditworthiness.

Therefore, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the credit rating based on the provided information. For example, the calculation unit 42 responds to the store providing a notification to the user that the work is not completed among the orders for which the work for providing the product is not completed by the scheduled time when the product can be received. The higher the number of orders placed, the higher the credit rating, and the smaller the number, the lower the credit rating. In addition, the calculation unit 42 notifies the store about the reminder of the visit to the number of times that the user does not visit the store even after the lapse of a predetermined time even though the work for providing the product is completed. The higher the percentage of responses provided to users, the higher the credit rating, and the lower the percentage, the lower the credit rating.

The calculation unit 42 may calculate the creditworthiness of the store according to the content of the notification provided by the store to the user. For example, the calculation unit 42 calculates the higher the evaluation from the user for the notification provided by the store, the higher the credit rating, and the lower the rating, the lower the credit rating.

Furthermore, there may be a request to calculate the credit rating according to how many orders the store has received. Therefore, the calculation unit 42 may calculate the credit rating based on the number of orders indicated by the history information. For example, the calculation unit 42 calculates the credit rating according to the number of orders received by the store via the pre-order service in the latest predetermined period. To give a specific example, the calculation unit 42 calculates the credit rating higher as the number of orders received by the store from the user via the pre-order service is larger, and the credit rating is lower as the number of orders is smaller. .. Further, the calculation unit 42 calculates the credit rating as higher as the number of orders for which the product has been received by the user among the orders received by the store, and the credit rating as lower as the number of orders is smaller.

Furthermore, there may be a request to calculate the credit rating according to whether the store is open according to the business hours set by the store. Therefore, based on the date and time indicated by the history information, the calculation unit 42 determines whether or not the transaction target is a period that can be provided at the store and the order is accepted via the predetermined platform within the period set by the store. May be determined and the credit rating may be calculated according to the determination result. For example, when the calculation unit 42 determines that the store has not received an order through the pre-order service during business hours, the calculation unit 42 calculates the credit rating lower than when the order is received during business hours. Further, when the calculation unit 42 determines that the store has not received an order for the product via the pre-order service within the sales period of the predetermined product, the calculation unit 42 has received the order for the product within the sales period of the product. Calculate the credit rating lower than in the case.

The calculation unit 42 may calculate the credit rating by combining a plurality of the above processes. For example, the calculation unit 42 uses a predetermined platform within the time indicated by the history information, the set time, the provision information, the image of the product indicated by the history information, the number of orders indicated by the history information, and the period set by the store. The credit rating may be calculated based on the determination result of whether or not the ordered order is accepted.

(About Proposal Department 43)
